SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING RESOURCES
Social-Emotional
Learning Resources
The ABCs of My Feelings and Music—Scott
N. Edgar & Stephanie Edgar. This beautiful
book explores the powerful link between art,
music, and emotion, and is ideal for deepening
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and building
a fuller emotional vocabulary. Built on the
principles of SEL, each page offers an emotion
word in a piece of colorful artwork, one for each
letter of the alphabet. Below each illustration
are three classical music suggestions to
listen to while reflecting on the art. Questions
and links to the playlist help children unpack
their feelings and can launch meaningful
discussions about how art and music can help
us express our emotions.

rehearsals and performances, the authors

and must be the threshold to artistry and human
connection. As an added bonus, the book

Realizing Diversity (An Equity Framework
for Music Education)—Karen Howard. How
can we engage with diverse populations,
repertoire, and identities while upholding
integrity and achieving equity? What are
cultural appropriation, othering, tokenizing,
and essentializing? How can we avoid bias
in our teaching and repertoire selection?
How do we create a more socially just music
education? This book is a groundbreaking
and practical resource for crafting diverse
and anti-bias music education in classrooms,
ensembles, and studios at all levels-from
preschool to university. At the book's core
is an Anti-Bias Framework intended to help
music educators gain confidence and comfort
in designing music curricula that are just,
equitable, and make participants feel safe
and welcome. Structured around the four
social justice domains of identity, diversity,
justice, and action, this framework explores
anti-racism, gender and sexual identity, power
and privilege, disabilities, economic realities,
empathy, and critical consciousness, and it
includes appendices with critical practices
for educators and a sample curriculum. An
indispensable book for all music educators, this
considers the many separate but interrelated
questions related to creating a more socially
just music education.
